Meet Gigi!

“I create, educate, and speak about what’s important to me— lifestyle, mental health, body image, and chronic illness. Dealing with a chronic illness put me in a position to constantly convince people around me that my illness was real and affected me which contributed to my mental health battles. I am committed to destigmatizing mental health and creating more conversations until no one feels scared to share their own journey!”
